I see, this morning, that Ted Wheeler has won his reelection as the mayor of Portland. This after allowing riots and the destruction of businesses in Portland all summer. So, I think it is time to write about Portland because after this election cycle my view of the country and this leftist movement is solidifying and the use of Communism/Marxism/Progressivism to destroy the middle class is on full display in the city of Portland.
Why Portland you may ask? Well for starters the Portland area is the home of Nike and my readers ask why I bring attention to Nike? Nike is somewhere around a $15-20 billion dollar international behemoth who it has been shown has factories in none other than China. The next piece of evidence that I would like to point out is, since the Michael Jordan era, Nike has become the prime sponsor of the National Basketball Association (NBA) along with numerous other sporting events, franchises, leagues and etc. Looking at the balance sheets Nike revenue far surpasses that of the NBA so much so that one really could call the NBA the Nike Basketball Association. The NBA who organizationally and certainly had some of its most popular players embrace Black Live Matter an overtly and openly Marxist organization.
So back to Portland, the re-election of its mayor, the home town of Antifa, the site of continued leftist rioting despite the re-election of its leftist mayor, and the home of Nike with its deep ties to Communist China. Is there a pattern developing here? I wonder? I know there is no criminality on the surface and being a Constitutionalist everyone is innocent until proven guilty in our system of justice. However, this is not the case in China and we must, as members of our democracy, remain ever vigilant for all enemies both foreign and domestic. To me, in the city of Portland, the coincidences are adding up and I am beginning to wonder if these really are not coincidental.
